Sustained metaphor (barqaror metafora)
A sustained metaphor is carried through multiple sentences or even paragraphs. Because it is used and developed over a longer section of text, a sustained metaphor can be a powerful literary device that provides strong, vivid imagery in the reader’s mind.This kind of metaphor is often found in songs and poetry.
In a famous example from Shakespeare, Romeo compares Juliet to the sun over several lines.
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief.
Kind of puts “You are my sunshine” to shame.
Dead metaphor(o`lik metafora)
A dead metaphor is a cliche that has become so commonplace that the imagery has lost its power. Examples of dead metaphors include: “,” raining cats and dogs
“throw the baby out with the bathwater,” and “heart of gold.”
With a good, living metaphor, you get that fun moment of thinking about what it would look like if Elvis were actually singing to a hound dog (for example). But with a dead metaphor, the original image has already receded into the background. Using too many dead metaphors will cause your reader to lose interest. Reach a little further for an original image, or think about ways to use a familiar metaphor in an unconventional way.
Watch out for mixed metaphors
Another reason to avoid dead metaphors is that it’s easy to mix them up. A mixed metaphor is exactly what it sounds like—a combination of two unrelated metaphors.
Let’s get all our ducks on the same page. (A mashup of “get our ducks in a row” and “get on the same page.”)Mixed metaphors can be pretty funny; the great Yogi Berra was famous for his “Yogi-isms,” which often contained bewilderingly mixed metaphors that still managed to get his point across:
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.
But if you’re not trying to be funny, mixed metaphors can come off as awkward or even undermine the point you’re trying to make.
How to come up with a metaphor
You don’t need anything but your imagination to come up with a good metaphor, but some added flair can go a long way. Remember, metaphors often represent something that is hard to take literally. Think of the metaphor “rule with an iron fist” as an example. Outside of the world of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones, it would be a bit difficult to find a person with an actual hand made of iron. However, we are still able to interpret that metaphor as meaning someone who is hard and heavy-handed on governance.
When you are coming up with your own metaphor, stick to concepts that people are familiar with but wouldn’t necessarily associate with a person.
Here is a simple example:It’s been a real circus at home since Mom went on vacation.Onam ta’tilga ketgandan beri uyimizda haqiqiy sirk.
You wouldn’t typically refer to your house as a circus, but this sentence implies that things are wild, full of excitement, and maybe a bit chaotic with Mom out of the house.
The next time you think your writing could use some energy, try giving it a jolt with a well-crafted metaphor. It’s sure to be a lightning bolt for your writing. “All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree.” —Albert Einstein
